Whats up with that? Well, with a family our size and with all the different schedules, Sunday just seem to work out best for all 21 of us. My sweet sister Laura and her husband Ken came to Arizona from Pennsylvania for the upcoming birth of a new grand-daughter. It was so convenient for us because it would allow us to celebrate Christmas together which we haven't been able to do for 28 years. With all our children & grand-children we fill up the house and we did just that on the Sunday after Christmas. Laura and I have a bunch of good kids. They all married wonderful people and we couldn't be more happier. For Christmas, we knew Santa was going to come and we didn't think to many would mind that he was a day late. We wanted to Honor the Adult children with an ornament just for them. For example: Karen, we gave her this note attached to a Peace ornament made up with little beads glued to the letters. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Karen wants Love and Happiness<br />for all those around her<br />She is the Peacemaker </span><br />And for Jennifer, we gave her this note attached to a beautiful gold 3 demensional star.<br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">She loves deeply and cares for<br />all those around her.<br />Her dreams are real and beautiful.<br />Jennifer is Passionate </span><br />We gave each adult an attribute that was just perfect for them. It was giving to them via Santa's red bag after, of course, all the kids receive their Santa gift. Santa made it comical at times but as he read the Attribute, I think it was much appreciated. I do know that Laura and I had the best time because we enjoyed so much the time we had together as we prepared this gift's for our children.

He sent me some fabric from South Africa with all the panels of the large animals native to the area. I held on the fabric for a while with the intention to do something when I came along a pattern to do the middle with batiks. I thought it would go quite well with the theme of the quilt. I was also quite tickled when I was asked if it could hang in a quilt display in the Gilbert Ariz. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">museum</span> for awhile. Chase really enjoys this quilt and I hope it reminds him about his time there with fond memories. The interior portion of the quilt was a stack and whack type of thing, which I had never done.

My sister Laura from Pennsylvania came out to visit me to do some quilt stuff and other crafty fun and boy did we get a lot done. She also came to visit her daughters family here and she is probably getting much needed rest from our adventurous and exhausting week! Normally, both of us agree that quilting is rather relaxing activity, but not at the pace we did! It was indeed rewarding and loads of FUN!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFrYor16WOZPg8t6pARDh46j98h3udi6CBAR1GLZVsamj6rBQeiU1KT0CVJCcTglHBkLnP5w3_tSenr184XRsxDZ5j1iw0kWiyMkmaGeqdLLEgA2_197fwroFGIM4wtT2eUKCrBra-UE/s1600/RSCN1234.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjFrYor16WOZPg8t6pARDh46j98h3udi6CBAR1GLZVsamj6rBQeiU1KT0CVJCcTglHBkLnP5w3_tSenr184XRsxDZ5j1iw0kWiyMkmaGeqdLLEgA2_197fwroFGIM4wtT2eUKCrBra-UE/s200/RSCN1234.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531733767431027554" /></a><div>So here we are showing off our newest joint project! This cornucopia pattern was in the last Quilt Sampler magazine. It normally was created with using felted wool and was beautiful. We decided to use batiks because we wanted it to blend this with a earlier fall quilt hanging we did a couple years ago and plus the fact we didn't want to invest in wool just quite yet! Maybe some day I will do something with felted wool. I have added some bead work to the tendrils since photographing this.</div><div>This will be Quilt project #50. The next couple of days I will show off quilt #51 that we also did this week and then I'll show other crafty fun as well! Back to work tomorrow!</div></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span">Enjoy!</span></i></b></span></div>Barbieannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17909997105280867281noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641655997036116666.post-56624904712195498642010-10-16T16:30:00.000-07:002010-10-29T09:58:34.024-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07AvFEkiWFLHdPaacysUu-uHCoysj73VWRM4De5KmrwiDisrKQN4_hgVDgn7oxVcBOJmAGLO3reS6j8C0cwQNGw2fBa6uZxawySBeayXDTHkJG6LxZnBuMWdSzzLIalFvHMH-1v4Hlbs/s1600/DSCN1192.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg07AvFEkiWFLHdPaacysUu-uHCoysj73VWRM4De5KmrwiDisrKQN4_hgVDgn7oxVcBOJmAGLO3reS6j8C0cwQNGw2fBa6uZxawySBeayXDTHkJG6LxZnBuMWdSzzLIalFvHMH-1v4Hlbs/s200/DSCN1192.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528790733196683266" /></a>Here is the finished Project.
